Please excuse the jumbled blog layout

Thought I would try a new layout and I have been on this for way to long and cannot figure out how to fix it.  So until I have the time to fix this bugger please ignore the obvious.

Thanks

It's a Bird...It's a Plane...It's...Super Sassy!

What a fun summertime picture to do.  Draw a city scape on the road have child lay sideways a la super hero flying and voila really sweet picture.  I found this fun idea on Pinterest.  When I started on Pinterest a few weeks ago I vowed to myself I wasn't just going to "PIN" ideas and never do them.  So...so far I've done this art with Sass, my niece and a couple of neighbourhood girlies and it was a lot of fun,  I've done 4 recipes that I "Pinned"  and I ordered 2 really great lunchboxes for the kids that I "Pinned".  Safe to say I am a "Pinspert" (Pinning expert) now.  If you have trouble with any type of addiction I strongly suggest you stay away.  It is that good.  Every "hit" of Pintesest is just as potent as the first.  You know what?  It is just good clean fun.  When my hubby is on Night shift it is a nice way to spend a couple of hours. It has everything from Homeschooling ideas, to travel, to tattoos, wardrobe...it has EVERYTHING all rolled up into one great site. I love it.  So check it woulda already.  Follow me and I will follow you.

Have a Pinteresting Weekend,
Love
Marcia

The Lone Ranger Rides Again

Our lovable American Bulldog Trixie thinks she is super stealth, as soon as someone leaves the livingroomshe slithers up on the sofa and curls up in a ball.  Well the other day she did it again.  I was in the kitchen baking and Sasha wandered into the livingroom and exclaimed "Moooooom Trixies on the sofa again", Me "Can you get her off please?"
S - "Trixie get off the sofa"
No movement
S - Hands on hips, louder voice, very firm. "Trixie...GET of the sofa."
Nothing
S - She looks over at me "I know what will get her off the sofa"
Sasha leaves the room.  Saunters back to the livingroom.  Positions herself firmly, shoulders back and lifts her right arm slowly and points a Lone Ranger Gun at Trixie and very calmly says "Trixie get off the sofa", as she starts pulling the trigger in a flurry of shots. Whaaaaat!!!!  Now that is clever and funny as hell.
Trixie was unharmed but I killed myself laughing.  Sasha looks over at me wondering what is so funny.  I cleaned my hands off from my baking and got Trixie off the sofa.  Seriously one of the funniest kid moments ever.
Don't you wish you had a video camera going at all times just to capture the hilarity that kids and parents experience on a daily basis'.  It is impossible to remember all the funny, smart, dramatic, shit that goes on.  I would give anything to capture my kids spontaneous characters and songs that are sung and the lyrics are so good but there is no documentation.  I try to jot down moments when I can.  (Notice I left out the tantrums, yelling and crying.  Those things are just fine to forget and do not need to be filmed.  Those are the character building moments for kids and parents that are done in private.)
I hope you are having as good as summer as us.  We are so gifted as to where we live (seconds from a sandy beach), We have good health, Are spirits are in check, Creativity is flowing, Grandparents down the street, visits from friends and family, Auntie has a new pool, the weather has been stellar, a damn good husband/father that makes our life triumphant.  Life is freakin' good.


Trixie
One funny little girl

Today you are youer than you.


My littlest love in my life Sasha turned 6 on Mother's Day.  She was born on Mother's Day too and truly was the best gift ever. 

Today you:
*Love to suck your thumb when you are tired or need a calming moment, you do this while tapping the dirtiest, oldest, softest blankies on your forehead or arms.
*You draw and doodle on anything you can get your hands on, I'll look in my agenda and there is always a special little drawing.
*Little Pet Shops and Small animal figures are your "go to" toys.
*You love to use the words boobie, bum, bumbum, poo, booty a lot, and try to fit them into every sentence you use.  (We are looking forward to this phase being over)
*You adore your brother and always want to play with him
*Except when you don't and you call him an "Idiot"
*You are really into hugs and kisses and love to give me and Daddy big juicy smooches
*You have a really lovely bond with Trixie, I'll often watch you sitting and snuggling with her and you are almost always whispering something to her.
*You LOVE Mango's.  When you eat them they drip down your arms, you get juice on your face, you take no notice and you always have a smile on your face.
*You make up really silly accents.
*You can do up a good crazy face that always makes me laugh.
*You love to be "spooned" and tuck your feet between my knees.
*You gulp a tonne of water before bed.
*You have a stutter, especially when you have a lot to say.
*Sometimes it sounds like you have a "New York" accent with certain words.
*You love to dress-up in animal costumes.
*You cry really loud when a sad song is on or there is a sad part in a movie or book.
*You like to play "Big Plant" and "Loco Coco" on your purple PSP.
*Getting dirty and messy is part of you, you never seem to notice or be bothered by dirt.
*You are a major bug collector.
*You have a purple Norco two wheeler that you are still getting used to.
*You can run really fast.  But when you are not running you can be very sloth like.
*You are a homebody.
*You don't like being cold.
*You love to tell jokes.
*You prefer to where skinny jeans and tee shirts.
*You get really angry if I don't use the right brush.
*You are long and lean, pants never fit you in the waist.
*You love fruit and candy.
*You are the messiest eater I know.
*You have a kind heart.
*You are loved.

Have a lovely day,
Marcia
